Overview

In March 2017, Tina Satchwell vanished from her home in Youghal, County Cork. For six and a half years, her disappearance remained one of Ireland’s most haunting mysteries. Her husband Richard Satchwell claimed she had left with two suitcases and €26,000 in cash. Gardaí searched the house and found nothing. Journalists interviewed Richard, including one who sat unknowingly just feet from Tina’s hidden grave … This extraordinary book is the definitive account of the murder of Tina Satchwell, told by the journalist who helped expose the truth. It is a story of coercive control, deception and the quiet horror of a woman buried face down beneath her own stairs. Through exclusive interviews, Barry Cummins traces the long road to justice with forensic detail and remarkable insight – from the initial search and media appeals to the cold-case breakthrough that finally revealed Tina’s fate. Part true crime investigation, part personal reckoning, this is a powerful portrait of a woman whose voice was silenced, and of the systems that failed to hear her. It is also a tribute to the persistence of those who refused to let her be forgotten.
